A. Waddell (JRAS 1914, 661 ff.) that the title of the Sutta was originally Mahā-Padhāna-Sutta, "Sutta of the highest being." However, he may be right in saying that this Sutta and the Lalitavistara can be traced back to a common source, and that the Sutta corresponds to the tradition of about the 3rd to the 1st century B. C. \[^3): Kevaḍha-Sutta (No. 11), Vol. I, p. 214. Similarly in No. 28 (Vol. III, p. 112 f.). In the Vinayapiṭaka (Culla. V, 8, 2) it is declared as a Dukkaṭa offence for a monk to perform miracles before laymen for the sake of worldly gain. A monk who does this, is compared to a woman who displays her charms for money. - [Previous: v2.c19.s3.t1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.27) - [Next: v2.c19.s3.t1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.29) - [Up: v2.c19.s3.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1) ## Cites (3) - [Cullavagga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.vp.khandhaka.cullavagga.5.8.2) — Pāli - [Pāyāsisutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.23.28) — Pāli - [Lalitavistarā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.sveta.mula.3.lalitavistara) — Haribhadra Sūri, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.28) · Pramāṇa
